In layman's terms, it means the US and Guatemala agree that Guatemala -- with one of the world's highest murder rates, whose capital the US tells tourists to reconsider travel to because of crime -- is perversely declared a safe place for migrants to wait.
|
|
But it is also true that, had he done so, he most likely would have been replaced by someone less willing to compromise, perversely weakening the United Nations' ability to advance peace and security — and further undermining the United States-Russian relationship.

" While recently promoting Joker, Phoenix walked out of an interview with U.K. outlet The Telegraph after a reporter asked him if he was worried the movie might "perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it's about, with potentially tragic results.
|
|
At the time, I wrote that this show brought to the fore "the beguiling sense of inevitability that the sculptures achieve in spite of their components' apparent randomness," a sentence that can be seen as a perversely accurate description of what Landy is up to.
|
|
At the heart of Gwendoline Riley's short, dark, funny novel is a marriage in which bullying self-pity and perplexed self-abasement collide in a series of savage little jousts that ought to be unbearable to witness, but are in fact mesmerizing and perversely tender.
|
|
The result is this thorny issue of non-elected Fed officials imposing a de-facto tax on American people and businesses, and perversely incentivizing banks to hoard cash rather than to lend it to the very people and businesses being forced to incur the cost.
|
|
Chris Kraus, one of our most innovative art critics, who is also one of our best fiction writers, now becomes one of our more adventurous biographers in this book on the perversely inventive and invented life of the punk fiction writer Kathy Acker (1947-19733).
|
|
We are one E. coli outbreak away from the clearest demonstration that the government shutdown that President Trump insists is necessary to achieve his goal of building a barrier along the Mexican border for the safety of our people is perversely having the opposite effect.
|
|
In the case of "Believe" it gives that song a strangely—actually quite perversely—intimate feel, as if Cher can only convey her very real, very genuine, very human feeling of loss by cocooning it within a queasily warbling machination that sounds Mircosoft Sam with a soul.
|
|
More precisely, while we were drunk by the end of the evening, at its start I was absolutely sober and feeling perversely destructive: I wanted to get drunk enough to give myself an excuse for doing something that might break apart a relationship that had grown claustrophobic.
|
|
His first marriage is one of the great horrors of the late-Victorian era — almost 40 years of mute and mutual hatred — but when Emma Hardy died in 1912, Hardy perversely resurrected her in a series of elegiac love poems that have few equals in English.
|
|
Composed of the kind of molecular, plasticine anarchy that might recall your most perversely dopamine-craved SoundCloud digging excursions, the theatrically awkward track doesn't manage to sway Dai one bit, who finds ample room to tease her flow around like a club-savvy glob of flubber.
|
|
What went down between the makers of "Moonlight" and "La La Land" was stunning and strange yet perversely, cosmically right for a night that began with Justin Timberlake's telling Denzel Washington that surely he recognized the Bill Withers cover Mr. Timberlake was oozing his way through.
|
|
Visuals that felt striking and original in 1990 — like that red-curtained room with the black-and-white zigzag floors — have been so thoroughly subsumed into the culture that they might feel, perversely, like copycats to those just watching Twin Peaks for the first time in 2017.
|
|
In addition to this frontloading problem, the specific lineup of states set to vote on Super Tuesday — mainly Southern ones — perversely gives both John Kasich and Ted Cruz separate excuses to stay in the race longer, even though it looks increasingly unlikely that either can win.
|
|
Warhol created roughly 40 versions of "Electric Chair," mostly executed in black silkscreen ink applied over "pretty" colored bases — from silver to the bright colors seen in "Twelve Electric Chairs" (1964), with its various flavors of green, orange, red, purple, shades of yellow, and, most perversely, bubblegum pink.
|
|
The result is effective: Chucky inflects the banalities of talking doll-hood with sufficient creepiness from the start, and there's something perversely satisfying in watching his increasingly stringy-haired progress toward full-on serial killer as he stalks and hunts down everyone Andy hates, followed by everyone Andy loves.
|
|
The episode, which was titled "The Six Thatchers" and featured plenty of twists that you can dive into right here, drummed up plenty of reaction on social media — but it also caused a Guardian critic to write a piece arguing that "Sherlock is slowly and perversely morphing into Bond".
|
|
Perversely, Lee's previous lack of experience in martial-arts films helped Crouching Tiger; he came in without feeling a need to live up to familiar tropes and rhythms, and wound up directing the film more like an arthouse drama and a dance film than like a conventional fight film.
|
|
To Turkey's horror, the West has praised it as the most effective force on the ground against IS. Perversely, when suicide-bombers ripped apart a peaceful anti-government protest by mostly Kurdish groups in Ankara in October, killing over 100 people, AK party spokesmen pointed fingers at the PKK.
|
|
But after a detailed look at this bill – and after seeing for myself the security measures already in place at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan last week – it is crystal clear that the perversely named America SAFE Act would do nothing but damage to our national security.
|
|
All of this had, perversely, compounded Spicer's ''current status'' even more by making him a strange object of fascination in the capital: Washington loves a death watch, and Spicer has been seen as a dead man talking for months — and yet he kept showing up and taking it.
|
|
Perversely, by allowing the descendants of refugees, many of whom are themselves citizens of other countries, to register on its list, the agency makes the likelihood of resolving the refugee issue near impossible, as the numbers of eligible and unaccounted for refugees are condemned to rise year on year.
|
|
However, around the exact same time (summer of 234), the English artist and chaos magician Austin Osman Spare — a late-decadent, perversely ornamental graphic dandy in the manner of Felicien Rops and Aubrey Beardsley — produced a sketchbook of "automatic drawings" featuring disembodied fabula on a par with Masson's.
|
|
After the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 133, I sat down with Walter to talk about how he navigated getting such a weird, troubled character to the screen, why respecting the source material was so important, and how his shoot was perversely troubled by sunny, pleasant weather.
|
|
With each lost season that Phil Jackson serves as president of the New York Knicks and every bizarre pronouncement that he makes about an NBA superstar—his own, players for other teams, whoever—it becomes easier for frustrated and perversely gleeful basketball fans alike to dismiss his accomplishments as a coach.
|
|
" With a Merle Haggard-invoking lede, Norris launches into a perversely fascinating discussion of the chemtrails conspiracy theory that includes the use of Wikipedia as a source, a freewheeling misrepresentation of a Smithsonian article by esteemed science writer Sarah Zielinski, and the dismissal of Snopes as a "liberal fact-finding website.
|
|
She also queried the idea, implicit in her earlier arguments and explicit in the work of theorists like Guy Debord and Jean Baudrillard, that the abundance and distribution of images made reality itself little more than a spectacle: It suggests, perversely, unseriously, that there is no real suffering in the world.
|
|
To the contrary, the Syrian Kurds were the greatest benefactors of our military excursion into Syria (along with, perversely, the Assad regime and the Iraqi government in Baghdad), as we effectively loaned the U.S. Air Force to the Kurds to level Raqqa and drive ISIS out of their cities and villages.
|
|
But Ocasek was drawn to musical extremes ("I loved the Velvet Underground and the Carpenters," he once said), and he championed the confrontational New York electronic-terror duo Suicide by producing their second album and perversely anointing them as the Cars' opening act — each night, hostile fans pelted Suicide with garbage.
|
|
Whether due to fatigue, political cowardice, or the proximity of 2020, Republicans in Congress apparently do not care that the president is perversely employing Article Two to obstruct legislative oversight, subvert the rule of law, and justify his efforts to employ a foreign government to interfere in the next election.
|
|
On July 15, 1997, one of the 20th century's most perversely awful convergences of fate occurred in Miami's South Beach: Standing outside his mansion, superstar designer Gianni Versace was shot to death by Andrew Cunanan, a young man who'd recently achieved his own ghastly celebrity as a serial killer on the lam.
|
|
Perversely, BT's weakened position may help it in its battle with Ofcom, because if the regulator forces BT into a costly settlement, hitting cash flow, it could alarm pension trustees to such an extent that they demand higher top ups in the scheme, reducing BT's cash and leaving it with less to invest.
|
|
Demos-Brown has inadvertently written a play about—or, really, just a particularly egregious specimen of—the perversely rote ways in which our young, black inexplicably dead have come, so often, to be mourned: he was tall, he went to school, he had a future, he was, I promise, a very good boy.
|
|
Their swingy guitar plucking, luxurious saxophone noodling, off-kilter jazz chords, swirly clouds of backing vocals, and general aura of stylish melancholy would feel unbearably beguiling and sexy if the whole package weren't so candidly artificial, which makes the implied romanticism look a little silly but also more fascinating, in a perversely amusing way.
|
|
Because the high-mileage, zero-emission Bolt helps the company stay under the federal government's fuel-economy standards, it perversely allows G.M. to keep selling more profitable, gas-guzzling cars, like the Tahoe S.U.V. As a result, G.M. could lose money on each Bolt and still find the overall project valuable to its bottom line.
|
|
"The last few months have been hard, no doubt, the news more distressing by the hour," the novelist and critic Siddhartha Deb wrote in The New York Times Book Review in February, "but there is still something perversely groupthinkish in the fact that the impulse of resistance has homed in on the same book."
|
|
Well, before you know it, Daisy's fiancé, Andy, who's been champing to tie the knot, sees red and gives that boiler a good clobber with his spade, imperiling the royal visit but perversely endearing him to his betrothed, who has decided that his act of amour fou was really a form of political sabotage.
|
|
While not all teachers use illicit drugs, almost all teachers I know are either functioning alcoholics or drug takers, and they love talking about it—and for good reason: There's something perversely pleasurable in regaling your colleagues with your messiest tales while knowing you're considered to be an upstanding, "real" human being with a proper, decent job.
|
|
When just about every old-school science-fiction villain would seem at least faintly ridiculous if they returned these days — think Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon or Ricardo Montalban's bare-chested, long-haired appearance in Star Trek: Wrath of Khan — why are we still so perversely fascinated by the guy in a breathing apparatus and motorcycle gloves?
|
|
Perversely, public defenders say jailing clients is the only way to shield them from deportation amid an alarming rise in courthouse arrests—three times as many so far this year than in all of 2016, according to expert testimony before the New York City Council—thanks in part to President Trump's executive order on immigration enforcement.
|
|
This is the first taste of Uncut Gems' not-so-secret star: Daniel Lopatin's score, and though the vista is perversely revealed to also be the interior of Howard's colon, the spell has already been cast and a grimy crime thriller has now been framed as a quasi-mystical sci-fi saga thanks to the music.
|
|
Though the report approved Friday does not specify a prospective dollar amount for the cost-sharing fund it calls for, the commission said it should be a "large enough fund to be meaningful," but should not "perversely incentivize risky behavior" by utilities or homeowners reluctant to invest in safety measures like removing trees and brush or shielding power lines.
|
|
As perversely droll and symptomatic as it is to experience the rhapsody of Fernandez's loveless and lopsided sadomasochistic cybernetic pleasures playing within the male mystique, I could not help but also view the nasty permissiveness of Paradox of Pleasure in the bright light of artistic misogyny that shines from Kate Millett's seminal 1970 study Sexual Politics through to today's #TimesUp movement.
|
|
The last few months have been hard, no doubt, the news more distressing by the hour, but there is still something perversely groupthinkish in the fact that the impulse of resistance has homed in on the same book, and that a measure of opposition to the horrors of the Trump administration is the climb of "1984" to No. 1 on Amazon.
|
|
More exclusively electronic and less instrumentally varied than his previous work, dominated by woozy waves of synthesizer and his own chirpy, pitch-corrected vocals, this music shares a style not just with the impractical shit sold in Hiper Asia but with a lot of avant-garde Spanish-language rock and/or electronica: it's colorful, jumpy, fragmented, a little garish, and also pinched, narrow, perversely difficult.
|
|
And now, in order to protect God from the charge that He was responsible for the innate defects in His creation, everything depended on Augustine somehow showing that in Paradise it could all have been otherwise; that our progenitors Adam and Eve were not originally designed to reproduce as we now reproduce but that they perversely made the wrong choice, a choice in which we all participate.
|
|
On Friday, these misogynist hate groups were validated when DeVos rescinded the Title IX protections that the Obama administration had extended to cover sexual assault on campuses The lawsuit brought against me, Bollinger, and Columbia — ironically a Title IX lawsuit — perversely argued that the man whom Emma had accused (and who was found "not responsible" by Columbia's sexual assault panel) was discriminated against on the basis of his gender.
|
|
The Cavs drafted him for reasons no one understood, and Bennett played poorly; he was traded when LeBron came to town, then gently drifted out of Minnesota and onto the (actually kind of perversely inspiring) Nets, a team without any draft picks and precious few prospects, where Bennett is settling into a long year of not playing very often on a team with maybe three viable NBA players.
|
|
Only after his enormous second-term landslide victory in 1936, when he was worried and frightened that constraints on his executive powers would hinder, if not block, his efforts to right the economy and protect international peace, did Roosevelt uncharacteristically, almost perversely, attempt to alter the balance of powers by packing the Supreme Court with his appointees and purging his Democratic majority of incumbents, mostly Southerners, who opposed his policies.
|
|
But the Knicks let Lin go after that magical season, Jeter's farewell tour seemed to last longer than his 20-year career, and we are more likely to remember — and perversely cherish — other moments: The notorious "butt fumble" of Thanksgiving Day 2012, when Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez collided with the derrière of one of his offensive linemen, causing a fumble that was returned by the Patriots for a touchdown.
|
|
I will reluctantly concede to a point made by a friend: that the anticipation or actual experience of racial violence in relationships with white people can be, perversely, less difficult than the loving and learning how to love and truly knowing how to love another Black person as you both endeavor to unlearn and refuse the barrage of anti-Black messaging you are both fed on a daily basis.
|
|
And because the show, for all of its vivid and often intense sense of time, place and true crime drama, comes from producer Ryan Murphy (Glee, Scream Queens) and Hollywood's monarchs of the slightly askew biopic kingdom, screenwriters Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander (The People Vs. Larry Flynt, Ed Wood), there's perversely prescient acknowledgement of the First Family of Famous-For-Being-Famous whose reign has its roots in the O.J. Era: the Kardashians.
|
|
The metropolitan sprawl that made single-family homes affordable and vulnerable, the National Flood Insurance Program that has perversely subsidized construction in flood-prone areas, the infrastructure that is not up to the challenge of a warming world, the racist fear that rends our communities, the crushing inequality and the sometimes reckless, sometimes revolutionary, hope that the future might be better than the past — none of these is unique to Louisiana or the Gulf Coast.
|
|
If there is one alpha culprit, it is the clearing of forests and wetlands for farms to feed all those people (and, perversely, to help them get to work: The destruction of Indonesia's valuable rain forests, and their replacement with palm oil plantations, has been driven in part by Europe's boundless appetite for biodiesel fuels.) Add to all this a relatively new threat: Global warming, driven largely by the burning of fossil fuels, is expected to compound the damage.

His foreignness—indeed, his official statelessness, for a period—along with the splendeurs of his style alienated him from the Trümmerliteratur movement (Rubble Literature, the direct and even rudimentary immediately-postwar German literature that tried to objectively describe, not subjectively evaluate, the contemporary scene, as a way, perversely, of mitigating its readership's war trauma), and he was too much of a nostalgist for the Vienna of Hermann Broch, Robert Musil, Joseph Roth, and Stefan Zweig to take part in the explicitly experimental Gruppe 47 (a group of novelists, poets, and playwrights that met between 1947 and '67, and included, at various times, and among others, Ingeborg Bachmann, Heinrich Böll, Peter Handke, and Uwe Johnson).

" Playlist: "Christine" / "Happy House" / "Red Light" / "Spellbound (12" mix)" / "Arabian Knights (12" mix)" / "Monitor" / "Fireworks" / "Slowdive" / "Dazzle (Glamour Mix)" / "Cities in Dust" / "Killing Jar" / "Peek-a-Boo" / "Kiss Them For Me" / "Face to Face" In a 2005 story for The Guardian, Steven Severin is quoted on how Siouxsie and the Banshees' influences differed from others in the punk scene: "While most of the protagonists of punk looked to American garage bands—Flaming Groovies, MC5, the Stooges, the Dolls—or to the New York scene of Patti Smith, Television, Heartbreakers and the Ramones as a benchmark, we, perversely, saw ourselves as taking on the baton of glamorous art rock—Bowie and Roxy Music—while incorporating a love for Can, Kraftwerk and Neu.
